In general, it'd be great to be able to share like this for most
activities. Another way of thinking about sharing would be to share
resources of multiple laptops to get a bigger workspace, e.g., some
times it is useful to have multiple xterms open. This would seemingly
be simple to do in the context of the X Window System if we wrap the
appropriate Sugar/Collaboration model around it. I can think of lots
of activities that are someone space constrained at times--having the
option of a larger or multiple screens--putting the debugging output
on a separate laptop, for example. Future feature wish list.
